Sammanfattning
The global shortage of qualified health workers is particularly severe in low-income countries. The experiences from the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa
demonstrate how lack of capacity and fragile health services may rapidly have global consequences. Long-term, joint efforts to develop robust and well-functioning
health systems may also be a source of learning for high-income countries such as Norway. International, institution-based cooperation in postgraduate training for
doctors can unite solidarity with mutual benefit to society.
